Ultram® affects the central nervous system and affects the way the brain senses pain.

Is Tramadol addicting?

Although Ultram® is promoted as a drug with low dependency rates and has not yet been labeled as a controlled substance, experience in the medical community has shown that this drug has a very real abuse potential.

Within a few weeks of consistently taking Ultram®, the body adjusts to the presence of the drug and a tolerance develops. As a tolerance to Ultram® develops, the body requires more and more Ultram® to achieve pain relief. Taking higher doses of Ultram® can increase the risk of experiencing uncomfortable side effects.
